Memories of Survival Through Treasured Objects

  • Armenian Institute 1 Onslow Street London, England, EC1N 8AS United Kingdom (map)

Join us for an evening of shared family and community narratives. We will be highlighting the important ways in which a household item, favourite song, poem or story can transmit memories of family’s journey from the destruction of the Genocide to new life.  We begin with by listening to a few invited speakers and then open the floor to those of you who volunteer to share your object and its story.  These might include a short story from your personal memory bank, perhaps accompanied by the object that plays a role within it. It may be a song your grandmother sang or a poem that you found especially inspiring. Come to listen to others, come to share your own treasured object and story. 

Contact Susan Pattie if you wish to discuss an object or story you might present.

Entry is £5 to include drinks and refreshments.
